Cops Were Called to Investigate a Crying Baby in a Car, When They See What Parents LEFT on THE FLOOR, They Are IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED

Louisiana police were called to the parking lot of a Wal-Mart as locals called in to report a crying baby left in the car by itself. The car was over 80 degrees, and the baby had been there for some time. After police had made sure the child was uninjured, they called child protective services.

As police started to call CPS, 35-year-old Billy Arthur Henry, Jr. and 32-year-old Lana Wallace Henry finally approached the car where they had left their child. Police determined the baby had been alone for over an hour. The parents were immediately arrested on the scene.

“After getting the baby out of the locked car, and seeing that the child was hungry and needed to be changed, Walker Corporal Mitchell Fouse purchased diapers, formula and a clean outfit for the child, using his own funds. He then gave the baby a bottle and calmed the child while waiting for OCS representatives to arrive,” said Captain John Sharp.

A Louisiana couple was arrested Friday night after police discovered they had left their 6-month-old infant in their hot car—because they forgot she was there.

Walker police were called to a Wal-Mart parking lot around 7:15 p.m. to check on a crying infant who had been left in a hot car.

Officers found the little girl crying hysterically in her car seat in the back of the vehicle, which had to have been hotter than 80 degrees.

After making sure the baby was uninjured, the officers called the Office of Child Services.

“After getting the baby out of the locked car, and seeing that the child was hungry and needed to be changed, Walker Corporal Mitchell Fouse purchased diapers, formula and a clean outfit for the child, using his own funds. He then gave the baby a bottle and calmed the child while waiting for OCS representatives to arrive,” said Captain John Sharp.

When a man and woman walking toward the car identified themselves as the child’s parents, investigators were able to determine that the baby girl had been left in the vehicle for about an hour.

Fouse immediately noticed that the couple had been unsteady and slurred their words, prompting police to wonder if they were impaired.

“The subjects, who had no identification, were then questioned separately concerning their identities and the reason for leaving the infant unattended in the locked vehicle. Both subjects expressed surprise when asked about the baby and neither remembered bringing the infant with them to Walmart,” said Sharp.

Once the Henrys were questioned about their behavior, they admitted to being under the influence of Oxycodone.

When police searched the vehicle, they found synthetic marijuana, while Adderall, crushed oxymorphone (Opana), and a syringe were found in Lana Henry’s purse.

During the investigation, police also discovered that the couple had three other children, but they were reluctant to admit where they were.

Finally, Billy Henry admitted that the kids were with a relative at their home, which he described as a house with a blue door near a tire store.

When authorities arrived, they took a 10-year-old, and 11-year-old, and the infant’s twin into protective custody.

The parents were taken to the Walker Police Department, and when they arrived, officers discovered Xanax on the floor of the police vehicle.

Lana Henry eventually admitted to dropping the drugs on the floor.

They were both taken to the Livingston Parish Detention Center for booking.
